Crunch & sip - 2pm – 2.10pm
No nuts
Due to some students having life threatening nut allergies, Woodlands Primary School has a No Nut policy. Please DO NOT send nuts in your child’s lunchbox, as children may be tempted to swap food. This includes peanut butter, museli bars with nuts or confectionary with nuts. Sometimes even touching nuts, or eating a food that has touched nuts, can cause a serious reaction in some students.
Crunch and Sip
Woodlands Primary School currently schedule a set break at 2pm every day to eat salad, vegetables, fruit and to drink water. Giving students the chance to re-fuel with fruit or vegetables helps to improve the physical and mental performance and concentration in the classroom as well as promoting long term health. More details can be found here.
Water only
Cordial and juice is not allowed in water bottles. Please fill your child’s water bottle with fresh water only.
‘Nude food’ days
As part of Woodlands Sustainability Program, Tuesdays and Thursdays are nude food days. To reduce waste, these days are allocated to ‘nude food’ which means no wrappers, plastic or single use packaging in lunchboxes. Each nude food day teachers count the number of wrappers in lunchboxes for a classroom tally to compare with other classes.
